Recruiting for Piedmont Community College: additional sites already filled for the 2024-2025 cycle can be found on this website https://nccampusengagement.org/how-to-apply-to-become-a-vista-member/. The NC Hunger Corps is an AmeriCorps VISTA project sponsored by North Carolina Campus Engagement (NCCE). The NC Hunger Corps VISTA will serve with a college or community-based organization to support on-campus and off-campus food security programs that target low-income or disadvantaged college students, staff, and community members. These programs may include campus or community gardens, food recovery efforts modeled on the Campus Kitchen Project or the Food Recovery Network, food pantries, and fresh produce distribution. Hunger Corps members may do activities such as help to raise awareness about nutrition and healthy eating, recruit and train volunteers, design and manage programs including days of service, build systems, networks, and relationships, participate in professional development and much more! Corps members should have a demonstrated passion for promoting food security, experience working or volunteering with students and community members, as well as strong written, oral, and interpersonal communication skills. Proven leadership, project management abilities, and a strong interest & experience in college/university community service programs is beneficial. Service placements are located across the state of North Carolina - for specific site information, please contact Christina Wittstein at cwittstein@ncengage.org. Housing support is provided by most sites and for PCC is in the form of a housing allowance provided monthly. Additional sites will re-open for placement with VISTA members starting in August of 2025 - application will open beginning in February of 2025.
